Message box in a process ?

deleted_user — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 11:26:12 GMT

Hi !

Is it possible to create a message box in a SAS process in Enterprise Guide ?

If it possible, could you please tell me how to proceed 😛

The best for me, would be to be able to create 2 types of message box.

The first one with just a message would appear after lauching the process with F3 (run)

"Have a nice day" > click "OK", then the process will run.

The second one, for ex :

After launching F3,

"Did you verify your work ?"
2 clicks possibles :
Yes > proceed with the run of the process
No > Stop the run of the process.

Thanks !

Thanks.

Before posting, I try to find some answer with google but did'nt find the right info.

As I have SAS Enterprise Guide 4.1 (4.1.0.521), I would have to wait a bit before benefit from these possibilities but I know it will be possible 😉

Thanks again

Hi,

PROMPTS are great but, aren't they associated to a task/program and get activated before they start executing?
Is there a way to invoke the prompt in the middle of the code execution?
Depending on a certain condition, I want to deviate my code to the end and finish the execution after sending a message box to the EG session, if this is possible.

Thank you

Hi,
Yes, there is a possibility with Enterprise Guide 4.2 version using Cascading prompt feature. After generating the reports you need to create stored process and then while running the stored process your msg box will appear the same as you request. 🙂
